We have been supporting a good friend who was running for Draper City council. Holly was moreless acting as his campaign manager and I created his website. We have been out putting up signs, holding cottage meetings, and campaigning for Troy Walker since July.
HE WON! In fact there were 3 open seats (out of 5 total seats) and all 3 were filled by people we supported (people who will be supportive of charter schools and education in Draper). We are very excited by the outcome. This will make our lives ALOT easier. Holly spent a good portion of her summer fighting the old city council in order to build the new junior high. The new council will be GREAT to work with.
BY THE WAY -- GRANDPA NOAL WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO KNOW THAT HIS GOOD FRIEND LINDA SEVILLE RETAINED HER SEAT ON THE SANDY CITY COUNCIL!!
Below is a copy of an email Holly sent out to 200 friends in Draper.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,As many of you know, our family has been involved in the campaign to elect Troy Walker to Draper City Council. We've had many people ask us, "Why become involved with a campaign during the busiest time of your life?" For us, it comes down to our family, especially our children.
We envision a day when we don't have to drive to Sandy to sign our kids up for sports. We imagine a time when our city council fights to reduce, and not increase, property taxes. We want to see our parks and trails maintained without that money being redirected toward expanding city staff positions. We see a time when our city council fights to put more public schools in Draper and has more control over spending.
We strongly endorse Troy Walker for city council. We have worked with him personally in many volunteer community-based causes and know him to be visionary, fiscally conservative, and passionate about Draper.
Holland, our second son, was outraged this morning when he realized kids couldn't vote. It made us remember what a privilege it is to participate in the process. Thanks for listening, and make sure that you exercise that right today.
Sincerely,
Mark and Holly Brown
